I would never have expected numbers like that from a Hyundai, Kudos to them for kicking up their game.

Ah! The Korean G8GT getting it on! I wondered when someone was going to find out about this car.

Good job! Still its no problem for any ss, 5.0 or old srt8. This thing weight 4000lbs, 0-60 is 5.1s. It cost 47+k and its ugly.

Now they need to restyle girlish genesis coupe to smth like FT-86 and put this babe in it. Will be a piece of art.

You really are on the wrong forum, but you've been told this time and time again don't seem to care. So I guess we give up...

If the bold is true, then it doesn't look that Hyundai should be any problem.

Meh...

Synyster · 07-05-2011, 02:55 PM

Not impressed.

So, it looks like Ford's 5.0 is better than Hyundai's 5.0.

Here's the full test. 0-60 in 5.3, 1/4 mile in 13.5 @ 105.2. But hey that's edmunds, so it may actually be a low 13s car if they got those numbers.

BigDan · 07-05-2011, 06:37 PM

They do good burnouts with lots of tire smoke.

Since when is a 365whp DOHC direct injected 5.0L V8 something to turn your nose up at?

SSOOCH · 07-05-2011, 06:47 PM

At the end of the day it's still a Hyundai...

BigDan · 07-05-2011, 06:54 PM

Which is now better then Toyota.

I think respect should be given where it is due. Hyundai has come a long way in a very short amount of time; and, the 5.0 Tau is putting out some good numbers. They may not be AS good as some others; but, it's also sitting in what's supposed to be a fluffy luxury sedan.
